The Many Names Of Blew.

A couple days ago I did a page on the Surname of Blue, and found there were many spellings of the name of (Blue). Then the day after Thanksgiving, I was going through my site and found a post I hadn’t noticed before. It was from a gentleman by the name of Bill (?), who told me about the different spellings, although I already knew, he asked if I would do one on the ( Blew’s. ) I told him it might be a couple weeks before I could get to it, but I find I could start sooner then I thought.

Although Blew is another way of spelling Blue, it will be a lot harder to look up information on, as most of my index’s are sound index’s, and when I put Blew in you get things like, “He blew the Whistle.” or “It blew up.” Will you get the idea. But none the less there will be a lot of good information on this page. I hope Bill and the other Blew hunters will enjoy the information and it, well help you in your hunt for that ancestor.

Note. This information comes from the many departments of the Library of Congress.

Journal of the executive proceedings of the Senate of the United States of America, 1789-1805FRIDAY, May 9, 1794.

William H. Blew, to take rank 17th July, 1793, Virginia.

Journal of the House of Representatives of the United States, 1819-1820THURSDAY, December 16, 1819. A petition of Abijah Blew, respectively praying for pensions.

Note. Did you know the was a Blew New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New Hampshire and Mexico.

Note. In the House of Representatives of 1867, there was a Henry T, Blew.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note. If you have any question about any thing on this page, or a look up, you can find my address in my profils.

Note. I know some of you had Blew's ancestors in the Revolutionary War & War of 1812. And you would like to have some information them. I get this kind of information from the pension rolls of the United State and as it's so vast I could not list every State here, so this will be a look up. If you would like to look for a ancestor write to me, with his name and the State and County. I also need the State he died in if you know it.

Important Note. Although I have stated on many of these names that I found on information does not mean there is no information to be found, it just means that I found no information with my limited index’s. There should be enough information here to order their records from the National Archives or many of the States Archives. Also note I have given you many of their Alternate names, these names will be important because much of this information here was found under their Alternate name.

Civil War.

Alabama.

Blew, J.M.I., or James M.I.Balew, Confederate, private, Co.G., 48th Regiment, Alabama Infantry.No info could be found, was not found on the rosters.
